Jun 27 2075: The End of an Era - by Charlie Hustle on September 4th, 2026

After 24 years at the helm of The Williston ball club, the team says farewell to long time manager Gordan DiMaggio. He's leaving the team with an overall record of 1956-1710, that's a .534 winning percentage and winning the league 5 out of 8 tries. After a run of 7 out of 10 sub .500 seasons, the new ownership decided it was time for a change. The Crusaders hired veteran skipper Francis Watkins who's last full season he went 103-57 with Newsport. Charlie Hustle is hoping this change coupled with the new pitching coach, 38 year old Glenn Webb, will help turn this lack luster season around.


May 25 2075: New Owner to put out fires! - by Charlie Hustle on August 27th, 2026

Charlie Hustle's newly acquired Crusader's are now faced with a big problem. The pitching staff is riddled with injuries. Two of their top aces, Tracy Wiles and Glen Bailey are out for the better part of two more weeks. Bailey has missed the majority of the season and is scheduled to return in 13 days. The already shorty handed bullpen is stretched beyond reason. Charlie and inherited a minor league that is completely incapable of handling this situation. After several failed attempts on the waiver wire Charlie turns to the free agent market signing veteran pitchers Thomas Quinn 30, Juan Borges 28, as well as a slightly younger Simon Morris 26.

All three are bargain barrel acquisitions with good stuff, talent but missed results throughout their careers. Cherlie is hoping they will fill the gap untill Baily and Wiles return, and give the bullpen some much needed relief. Time will tell.
